GenAI seems to be marketed towards folks who would like to or need to upskill but cannot (for whatever reason) while those who use it possibly cannot see how it effectively deskills and/or infantilises them.

It's always wild to me when people are like, "Oh I couldn't be an abolitionist because of all the sexual violence," meanwhile prisons are one of the biggest *sources* of sexual violence. Meanwhile the criminal "justice" system retraumatizes survivors, while the vast majority of rapists are never

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Another annoying thing about copyright is it's not uncommon for someone who DOES NOT own the rights to claim it. I often use creative commons music and Ive still gotten multiple vids copyright claimed bc some rando claims they have the rights to music that has been explicitly labeled free to use

a formline design of a plane creature or aeromorph, with a blunt snout and big front paws. various passengers are visible through three windows on its torso, each shown to be resting peacefully, gawking outside, and watching in a more contented way respectively. the passengers seem to have vaguely animal characteristics. surrounding the plane are billows of clouds, a stamped boarding pass with a direct flight route that reads "TSM > SYN", and a swirly red line depicting the route with map-style pins at either end.

One of those passages that has lived in my head for decades now. “It’s expensive to be poor” feels unintuitive if you’ve always been comfortable, but Pratchett explains it in two short paragraphs.

I think the primordial element of the culture war wrt Kei Trucks and Cybertrucks before any social concerns really is aesthetic. People who like Cybertrucks are tasteless & feel Keis are emasculating. People who like Keis correctly understands Toriyama characters drive them.

My family is heartily sick of me pointing out on every Sky Movies, Amazon Prime etc screen that when they say ‘rent’ and ‘buy’, it should really be ‘rent for a week’ and ‘rent for as long as we deign to grant you’, because ‘buy’ implies ownership and that is most certainly not what is happening here

Going through the wide gambit of indie animation with a bud and running through the spectrum that's being produced. There's a respect that needs to be have for artists just finishing a project even if I'm not the key demographic. Mad props man for doing something you love and putting it out there.

Love a direct, to the point queen. Say it plainly and leave no space for bad-faith bullshit.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

im still haunted by the memory of a woman who ordered orange syrup in her cappuccino, took a sip, scrunched her nose, and said "I don't know what I was thinking, but thank you anyways."

She sat there and drank the whole thing..i offered to make her something else, and she said, "I am living with the consequences."

It's also important to note that Stripe requires a minimum $50 for payout on platforms like Vgen, so for many artists keeping PayPal open is not optional, but a necessity. Don't mention art, don't mention commission, don't say anything! Details can always be worked out via DMs or email 👍
